We are proud to present a panel discussion, recorded on November 27th, 2021, on Social Contagion and other material on microbiological class war in China. The book, authored by the anonymous binational collective Chuang, is an account and analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic in China—a piercing portrait of the simultaneously draconian and ineffectual response of the Chinese state and the self-organizing survival strategies of ordinary Chinese workers. We invited leading researchers on these issues to comment on the book and launch the debate on Chuang's provocative theses.

For the Hyde Park Herald, Jennifer Bamburg reported on the release event of Acceptable Men in Miller Beach. “The event’s roster includes former co-workers from Gary Works, members of the Sojourner Truth Organization, and younger activists involved in similar struggles today. “I'm excited to see some steelworker families. It'll be different than your typical Chicago lefty event in that regard,” says Kingsley Clarke, Ignatiev’s closest friend, former Sojourner Truth Organization member, and member of the Kerr Press board of directors.”
